2003 anti-war protests

The 2003 anti-war protests were global demonstrations opposing the planned invasion of Iraq by the United States and its allies. Many people believed the war was unjustified, based on the suspicion that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction and posed a threat. Protesters expressed concerns about the potential for widespread violence, instability, and loss of innocent lives. The protests involved millions worldwide, including in cities like London, Paris, and New York, reflecting widespread public skepticism and the desire for peaceful resolution rather than military action.
